The Celebrity: Chad Johnson
Why He Can't Wait For 2012 To Be Over: The first half of the year was pretty great for the former NFL star. He went to the Super Bowl with the New England Patriots. He got married to reality TV star Evelyn Lozada. And, he signed a new deal with the Miami Dolphins over the summer. But, then, he allegedly assaulted Lozada during a domestic dispute, got cut by the Dolphins, and was forced to sit by idly as Lozada filed for divorce from him. It sounds like the couple has reunited recently. But, still: This year didn't finish off anywhere near as good as it started for Chad.

The Celebrity: Young Buck
Why He Can't Wait For 2012 To Be Over: He'll be one step closer to freedom. Over the summer, the former G-Unit soldier started serving an 18-month jail sentence after he was arrested in possession of a firearm. And, to make matters worse, he spent his first two months behind bars sitting in solitary confinement. He's clearly no longer living the glamorous lifestyle that he used to enjoy when he was under 50 Cent's wing.

The Celebrity: Kristen Stewart
Why She Can't Wait For 2012 To Be Over: 2012 should have been a crowning year for Ms. Stewart. With the Twilight saga winding to a close, she was supposed to finally branch out and start to spread her wings as an actress. But, in July, it was reported that she was cheating on her boyfriend Robert Pattinson and having an affair with her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders. As a result, she's been stuck in a holding pattern for the last six months and struggling to move forward in her life.

The Celebrity: Katt Williams
Why He Can't Wait For 2012 To Be Over: The comedian has seemingly been arrested every other day in 2012. Okay, okay, so maybe he hasn't been arrested that often. But, from an incident involving him slapping a Target employee to an incident involving reckless driving, he's had his fair share of run-ins with the law this year. Hopefully, he'll stay out of trouble in 2013. Key word: "Hopefully."

The Celebrity: Lindsay Lohan
Why She Can't Wait For 2012 To Be Over: At some point, LiLo is going to have to get control of her career before the wheels fall off of it. Will 2013 be that year? Uhhh…who knows? But, we do know that she's hoping it turns out better than 2012. This year, she was involved in yet another reckless driving incident. She got into a fistfight at a club in New York City. And, she reportedly borrowed a large sum of money from Charlie Sheen (yes, Charlie Sheen!) in order to pay off a debt owed to the IRS. You know you've hit rock bottom when you're borrowing money from Charlie Sheen, right? So, '12 was definitely not her year.

The Celebrity: Flava Flav
Why He Can't Wait For 2012 To Be Over: Remember when the Public Enemy hypeman was a media darling during his reality TV days? That seems like such a long time ago now. In 2012, he was hit with a huge tax lien with the IRS claiming he owes almost $1 million in back taxes. He was also arrested on a battery charge in the fall after he allegedly attacked his girlfriend and her son. We're not sure if things are going to look up for Flav anytime soon. But, they probably can't get much worse than they did in 2012.

The Celebrity: Amanda Bynes
Why She Can't Wait For 2012 To Be Over: For whatever reason, the actress picked '12 to act a fool, specifically when she climbed behind the wheel of a car. She started off the year by getting pulled over for talking on her cell phone while driving and then quickly accelerated to committing crazier crimes, like driving under the influence, hitting a car and leaving the scene of the accident, and driving with a suspended license. So, she can't wait for 2013, mostly because it means she'll be a little bit closer to eventually getting her license back.

The Celebrity: Terrell Owens
Why He Can't Wait For 2012 To Be Over: In 2013, T.O. is hoping to land a job somewhere. Anywhere really. Ideally, he'd like to play for an NFL team. But, after getting cut by the Seattle Seahawks last summer—and failing to catch on with another team during the 2012-13 NFL season—T.O.'s playing days are likely behind him. And, that's unfortunate because he had some very public financial struggles in 2012 and even made an appearance on Dr. Phil earlier this year to talk about the problems he's been having with the mothers of his children. Like all the celebs on this list, T.O. just needs a fresh start. So, let's hope that 2013 provides the fresh start he's looking for right now.
